old question but will attempt so this can be closed

for each step you want to check if his work is mathematically correct

so for step 1, check to see if he solved 4x – 3y = –8 for y
if he's correct in step 1, go to step 2 and see if -4/3 is the perpendicular slope of 4/3 (as a reminder it needs to be the opposite reciprocal)

and so on and so forth 
as soon as you find a logical/arithmetic error you can say that's the first step where the error appears
